Information Changes How You Think
• Games• New Art

Circumstances in Existing Disciplines
• Various disciplines are in a state of chaos.• Can anyone grasp the big picture?
Particle size of a panoramic view• Information is borderless:it can cross borders in an
instant.
- the Google Empire (Google dominates the field of creating order from knowledge chaos.)
arbitrary rankingA speed that exceeds the speed of thought.
Possibility of “unexpected discovery”(serendipity) is lost.

-Information Gives New Expressions to Academic Disciplines-
• Expression of academia is no longer words alone.
• New wordsSimulation and visualization

Structure of “Knowledge Structuring”
23
Example of Simulation -The structure of genomes and medicine-
The Steric Structure of Proteins
• Gene sequence determines protein “sequence” and protein sequence determines the steric structure (the function of protein).
• Their virtual structure can be seen on a PC.
• Bcr-Abl kinase inhibits binding with substrates.
→
Abnormal proliferation is inhibited.• Bcr-Abl kinase specifically reacts.
→
No side-effects.
24
25
The New Form of Academic Disciplines -Knowledge structuring changes learning.-
• Simulation, visualization New methods of knowledge transmission.
Information independent of words• Academic discipline to deal with the needs
of the 21st century.• Considering how to use knowledge is one
academic discipline. A new method is born from matching
knowledge with intelligent values, economic values, social values, and cultural values.
26
The 21st Century University Model
• Creation of knowledge• Creation of value• Transmission of
structured knowledge
27
Concept of “Knowledge Structuring”

autonomously distributed and

28
Concept of a “Knowledge Structuring Center”
Structuring Method Development
・Development of knowledge-structuring methods・Liquefaction and crystallization of knowledge
expression ・Semantic computing・Structuring Knowledge from the Web
Intelligent Value-Related Research
・Evolving textbooks・Digitization of an all-campus syllabus and “UT all-campus knowledge structuring “ using MIMA
search techniques ・Science and technology literacy forJapanese people・Visualization of university education and research
Social Value Related Research
・Idea-supporting systems for problem solving
・Structuring and visualization of medical knowledge
・Structuring of compliance issues
Cultural Value-Related Research
・“New Encyclopedia” Project
・“Wisdom and Tree of Media Analysis”Project
・Structuring of NHK archives andeducational navigation
Economic Value-Related Research
・Material nano-technology knowledge basis・Workshop for business knowledge structuring
29
Komiyama’s Conviction
Research and education should be linked in real time.
The results of knowledge segmentation remain at the forefront for all peoplethe answer:textbook ⇔
ontology ⇔
research
Educational resources should be concentrated in Komaba.

Purpose of Scientific Integration - Project “Earth” Show the relationship between various academic disciplines concerned with the Earth. Make them easy to understand for freshmen and the general public, stratify them so that the top level would be in laboratories. Show them on the Web so that anyone can see them in libraries. →Make possible various simulations and models.

Role of Information in Education
– Relationship between a trend of knowledge and higher education
– Relationship between a trend of knowledge and elementary and secondary education
The next generation will solve today’s issues.– Relationship between a trend of knowledge and
continuing education
⇔ Humans share “structured knowledge”in real time

(For teachers)
Ideal textbook(book + Web)
(For parents) (For students)
Parents can support their children’s learning by accessing “the ideal textbook(for parents)” , an educational tool for parents developed by “educational institutions”. Parents can participate in education.
parents
Teachers look for more effective teaching methods on their own using educational contents such as “the ideal textbook (for teachers)” and faculty training materials developed by “educational institutions”.
Children can learn according to their interests using an online “ideal textbook” linked to the basic textbook.
teacher-training texts
Infinite number of educational contents are on internet.
